Okay, so found all online, discharged the monitor without incident (my first) successfully, squeezed the plug and out pops the anode, disconnected all molex, the grounding frame and screws, and out she pops, cage ready to ship tomorrow

Considering ordering the new monitor, this is a lotta work, and I dont wanna do it again in 6 months:)  DO IT RIGHT or dont do it?  STILL WANT OPINIONS ON HOW BAD SCREEN BURN WILL SHOW IN GAMEPLAY.  $250 is a lotta money.

Chad, dont let me down on that artwork man, you are my only hope Obi-Wan:)

echo!  Little help?
Mike A:
My Asteroids Deluxe has some burn. It is not noticeable during game play. Probably because the vector graphics are so freakin' bright. I will snap a pic of my screen burn and post it tonight.
mourix:
Burn probably won't be that noticable, so let's just focus on getting it up and running first.

A CRT like that would need a yoke swap/alligment and full adjustments, all while it's turned on. It's beautiful when done correctly, but as a beginner I'd think twice before starting a project like that.
gargoyle73:
Mike - thank you I'd REALLY like to see. $250 is a lot  of bread:)

Mourix - thank you had no idea but just looked it up, I *think* I could handle it but time is limited with work, so if i can stick with this tube=easier and cheaper

Will take about a week to get pcb and monitor cage back
